Year Of The Dog |
| I was born in the Year of the Dog |
| I will comply and keep turning those cogs |
| I am faithful but I will bite |
| I will not cower in a fight |
| And I’ll growl and I how how how howl |
| And I’ll wake you in the morning with the first news into town |
| And I’ll growl and I how how how howl |
| But you know that I will ease all your fears we can drown |
| And I was born in the Year of the Dog |
| I’ll be turning those cogs |
| Through the snow and the fog |
| String me along |
| Your companion in song |
| Treat me wrong |
| And one day I’ll be gone |
| I was conceived in '69 |
| Year of the Rooster and liberated minds |
| You were raised with tigers teeth |
| Soothsayers eyes and rockets on your feet |
| And you ran and you never came back |
| And when you looked into the mirror you were ready to attack |
| And they rode and you walked to your grave |
| And when they woke you in the morning you were slumbering dead |
| I was born in the Year of the Dog |
| I’ll be turning those cogs |
| Through the snow and the fog |
| String me along |
| Your companion in song |
| Treat me wrong |
| And one day I’ll be gone |
